Lee First Impressions... More Just Frames EXCELLENT

[@DennisTheZZZ]

Lee now compliments the player for hitting the "just frame" moves. Just... excellent.

@@mojito8948 It has been a tradition since TK4 that Lee says "Excellent" at the end of every ending/epilogue. It became a little catphrase among fans. But now they have him saying it all the time and threw in "Marvelous" and "Great". It makes him look goofy despite him formerly being a serious character.

I find it funny how Tekken 4 was the big comeback of Kazuya...and Lee, cause ever since then Lee has been getting quite a lot of attention from the devs, having a character he created debut in T4, getting a pivotal role in T6, Tag 2 and T7 and now getting his own stage in the form his EXCELLENT mansion in T8, very nice, I'm glad Lee still gets to shine.

[@NeoZero85]

Actually Lee debuted in T2 but it's very old and he was one of the extra characters in the game

[@robchowder5611]

Actually.... hes a tekken OG. He missed an entry or two but hes been around since tekken 1

Was really afraid of what they'd do with Lee in this game, looking forward to labbing him a lot day 1

[@PatrykG59]

Man i was so afraid they could make Lee easy mode like they did with Law but looks like they knew why we love Lee and they added even more hard to do moves

[@OddSauce]

Lee's new slide only knocks down only on counter hit btw, on normal hit it's just +3 and forces the opponent to crouch

[@tiger-rgn]

yeah only +3 and MINUS 15 ON BLOCK, why is such a slow underwhelming low launch punishable? its beyond me

[@DomoSensei]

@@tiger-rgn it depends how its spaced, at max range its safe at like -9 I believe, realistically you should never use it point blank from what ive seen but from a mid range where its like -11 to -13

[@fxlja]

My take? They're trying to swap his power low. Slide got a huge nerf for sure but look at db3. That little poke is a heat engager, talk about a glow-up

[@MrXBOCAX]

I need help from Tekken folks: My main is Heihachi in 7, but I've only been playing for about 6 months. With him "missing" now, could Lee replace the old man fathery figure? Reina is nice but everyone and their mother will be playing her, so I've been thinking of other options. Would Lei be as hard as Hei to play? Thanks in advance, folks! 🙏

[@Section8dc]

I mained them both in T7, it really depends on what you want, if you are into really technical stuff then he is perfect cuz Hei could also be really technical, but if you werent into doing all the technical stuff with Hei then he probably isnt the best pick if you are looking for something similar to Hei, Lee has a lot of very technical stuff that is unique to him, if you play Hei then things like electrics and wave dash will translate over to other characters like Kaz and Jin, with Lee all his technical stuff is unique to him so you could be putting in a lot of time for stuff that will only work with him Basically if you are into very execution heavy characters that focus on CH then he is amazing, but he isnt a rush down bulldog like Hei is so idk if you would like him as much if you love to bully your opponent. He is one of those characters that you really need to invest A LOT of time into to use him at his full potential so just keep that in mind, I personally love him so I say why not? But if you are looking for someone with a somewhat similar playstyle to Hei then you might want to try someone like Dragunov cuz he is more suited to that aggressive "let me breathe" style of play

[@MrXBOCAX]

@@Section8dc Huge thanks man! Yeah, I really enjoy the presure aspect of Hei's style, and wall stuff, of course. I can pull off omen and electrics with good consistency, but it can always be improved, right? Maybe I'll give Lee a shot and see how that works, if I'm happy with how much time would have to be invested to be decent with him. Thanks again!

[@Section8dc]

@@MrXBOCAX yw man! And merry Christmas wherever you are in the world! I think Lee is perfect for anyone that loves very technical high execution characters, I personally live for that shit so I love Lee to death. He can be played aggressively as well but he doesn't have a ton of plus frames to build pressure, a lot of his pressure is based around the threat of his Hitman Stance, if you love wall stuff then he is right up your alley cuz once you get good with him you will reach the wall almost every single time lol But like I said all of his technical stuff is unique to him and I always tell people that its a huge commitment to become good with him so all that work will not translate to any other character, but imo he is the single most fulfilling character to play, learning the ins and outs becomes worth it in the end but its a long road for most people to get to that point. As mainman put it so well "Lee is really good, but not as good as the amount of work you have to put into him", he truly is a character you play cuz you love him
